Our year through Twitter #2 – #Thebestof2015

Our year through Twitter continues…

August 2015

As well as our excellent GCSE results (for more information do read here) we had a whole summer programme as a summer school – from art, sport, camping and music. This picture shows one of these summer camps – where the participants made a music video. We run Easter and Summer camps – do look out for more details on Twitter nearer the time.

September 2015

Our Senior Prefects start their duties for a year from September and this picture is one of their tasks on their training. At least they had a super sunny day for their kite flying.

October 2015

As a charity, supporting other charities is close to Ballard School’s heart. Ballard School provides public benefit in a number of ways (many highlighted here) and we love to support a wide variety over the course of a year. To remember Caz Gray (the headmaster’s PA who died suddenly) two parents cycled from New Milton to Sardinia for two charities – Bethany Kids and Marie Curie. They came in October to show us their bikes and talk about their experiences.

November 2015

Wind in the Willows was our Prep production, with a wide variety of our years involved in the production – especially around backstage and face painting. This is one of many examples of how our ‘through school’ approach – from nursery to GCSE – works exceptionally well on occasions such as these.

December 2015

For our Headmaster, choosing just one photograph from the year was quite a feat – so for December we have allowed his top two!

Firstly it is the winning house from the house competition this term – here presented in one of our assemblies in the PAC.

A fitting end to a Ballard School year is our final picture in this – our flight through the Twitter-sphere. Our Carol Service ends the Christmas term and we go to Christchurch Priory. This is the view from the choir – Happy Christmas to one and all.
